Now, if we s

23、top thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons good points, things will be quite different.One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation.

31、ders. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write.When visiting

32、 future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly.Use words that descri

33、be the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.Pay particular attention if there is a

34、 section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for.

41、ople is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like youre interacting with someone rather than something, she said. And social robots are really designed to

42、 engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership.At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social

43、 situations.You know if youre going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that theyre around us, he sa

44、id.Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face.

45、d people, he said. So it interacts with the front desk agent when theyre sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as its going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives.So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying message

46、s or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.56、 What will social robots do according to the scientists?A.

50、 colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At lea

51、st, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow upwe are born wit

52、h Our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it.

53、 brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the areauntil it was repainted green.

54、 sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
